They shouldn't care about the deficit, but they should have enough sense to know that when YOU get something that you didn't earn, it was taken from someone who DID earn it.

It's not just millenniums though. People of all ages are glued to it. It's really sad. But this is our technology today.

I hate to tell you this but Boomers did not help Obama getting elected.

How old do you think they are ..12 ?

The oldest millennials are 34 years old.
How many Presidential elections since they turned 18 ?
How many local elections ?
They've been working for over 10 years if they went to college.

Inherit ? They PARTICIPATED.

Do you understand? This is a group of people who don't get that you are actually supposed to show up to your job every time you are scheduled even if you don't feel like it. And if you punish them, they don't react well. So we have to baby them along with raffles and bonuses.

If you are wondering why we don't just fire them, it's because there is an extremely selective hiring process and a lot invested in the training. It costs us money. So these aren't even crappy Millennials. These are the top of the heap Millennials. And we are paying more than industry standard.

I think the first sentence of my post wasn't well written & did not convey my opinion clearly.

What I mean to say is that the Millennials don't have it any worse off than their parents did WHO (their parents) are either X-ers or BBs.

They just *think* they do.

No, tinytrump - I didn't teach them that. Someone else did. My kids know better at the ages of 16, 13 & 7.

Those millennials are dumb! They should vote for the guys who want to cut taxes while increasing military spending. That will work out for them!

Millennials are more liberal than generations past, particularly on social issues. This alone makes them smarter and superior to generation's past.

It's not their fault the GOP (and to a lesser extent, the Democrats) nuked the middle-class with their failed trickle-down agenda.

Yeah, the Millennials are pathetic. Just look at their posts in this thread alone.
